Most Stylish Films
I think films can be a great source of sartorial inspiration. Those that have consistently stylish, well- fitting clothes throughout offer the most to me.
It would be hard to make a definitive top 10 list, so I will discuss some films that stand out to me as having outstanding wardrobes and are particularly inspirational.
The James Bond series is one that comes to mind first of all. From early days of Sean Connery in Dr No, sporting what would soon become his trademark, the ‘turnback’ shirt cuff, to the modern day iteration of Daniel Craig who does the classic black tie so well in Casino Royale.

Bridal Briefs: Asha Jennings
We met Asha in the alterations department, when she was seeing her wedding dress for the first time in nearly a year. Read a recap of Ashas episode here. and see photos from Ashas wedding!
TLC: Was the wedding dress you chose similar to what youd always pictured?Asha: My wedding dress wasn’t quite as I always pictured, but it was exactly what I wanted (if that makes sense). As we get older and begin to understand our body types and assets, our style grows and changes to evolve much more than when we were younger and first imagined ourselves getting married.
Leadbelly, “Goodnight, Irene,” 1943
Planning to read 19th-century lit by candlelight this weekend and pray that Muffy Aldrichs chickens dont get blown to Oz.
See you when the power is back on, when we can all join blues legend Leadbelly in a chorus of Goodnight, Irene. — CHRISTIAN CHENSVOLD
Rise of the Planet of the Apes – James Franco
James Franco is an American actor, producer, director and writer. Most famous for his roles in the Spiderman movies and Danny Boyle’s 127 hours, which saw him nominated for no less than 24 awards (He won 8 of them). Critically acclaimed for his work, he is an ever present at awards ceremonies and glitzy Hollywood parties. And he ain’t camera shy either.
James always looks sharp in his suits . With his dark hair, and brown eyes, he prefers the darker shades.
